Answer

When analyzing regional performance, should I use nominal or real chained-dollar GSP?

Comparisons of GSP chained-dollar growth rates and nominal dollar shares of GSP across industries or states and regions provide indications of the relative performance of industries, states, and regions. For example, comparing the growth rate of chained-dollar GSP for an industry to the growth rate of total chained-dollar GSP indicates whether that industry is raising or lowering the state's growth rate. Comparing the share of total GSP in nominal dollars that is accounted for by the GSP of an industry over time indicates whether that industry's claim on the state's resources is increasing or decreasing.
